Love the car mate. Keep up the good work. I own a mini 30 which I am restoring. I only hope she turns out as nice as your Lulu. My 30 certainly won't be as it was when she left the factory. She will be tweaked to be a reflection of how I want her to be. Nothing too outlandish. But maybe a cheeky vinyl on the roof or something.. as far as I can see there is abaolutly no shame in that. Your car is lovely, keep it up!

Thank you for that mate! :proud: When i first got her i wanted to mod her not to bad just nice wheels and arches things like that but i changed my mind i am just tastefully modding the interior to my spec and trying to keep the outside as original as i can! I just love the look of Lulu at the min i only have a few more things planned for the interior like black cobra classics a black headlining and black purspex sunvisors and that's pretty much it then! Glad you like her! :lol:

Just had my right drivers front wheel bearing replaced as it was grinding a lot! It's much better now. Getting my ball joints upper and lower replaced now on the front drivers side swivel hub. Then going to have it tuned and set up nicely. :proud:

For the past few days i have been painstakingly removing some spray paint from my door it was me who did it when i sprayed my apanel i blended it in a bit on the door. I didn't think i could get it off but i'm using Auto Glym paint renovator it is killing my fingers as it's not budging easily.
